    <p>The installation is done by using the Eclipse Update Manager. The Update Manager connects to
    an EPIC Update Site [http://e-p-i-c.sourceforge.net/updates]. The Update Site can also be
    stored locally if no Internet connection is available and can be downloaded from the <a class=
    "ulink" href="http://e-p-i-c.sourceforge.net" target="_top">EPIC project page</a>.</p>

    <p>After starting Eclipse, select <span class="guimenu">Help</span> → <span class=
    "guisubmenu">Software and Updates</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Find and Install...</span>
    from the menu.</p>

      </div>
    </div>

    <p>Select <span class="guilabel">Search for new features to install</span> an press
    <span class="guibutton">Next</span>. Press the <span class="guibutton">Add Update
    Site...</span> button for a remote installation via HTTP or the <span class="guibutton">Add
    Local Site...</span> button if the Update Site is available locally. When installing EPIC from
    remote, enter any desired <span class="guilabel">Name</span> and the <span class=
    "guilabel">URL</span> <strong class=
    "userinput"><code>http://e-p-i-c.sf.net/updates</code></strong>.</p>

    <div class="screenshot">
      <div class="mediaobject" align="center">
        <img src="images/updates_2.gif" align="middle" alt="Add Update Site..." />
      </div>
    </div>

    <p>Tick the newly created site and press the <span class="guibutton">Next</span> button. Follow
    the instructions of the install wizard. The warning about the installation of an unsigned
    feature can be ignored. Eclipse has to be restarted after installation.</p>
